Yoga and the Enteric Nervous System
Have you ever heard of the term "little brain in the gut"—ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM? The network of neurons in the gut is called the enteric nervous system (ENS), a deeply important part of our overall health that controls digestion independently of the central nervous system. The over-the-counter supplement market is currently overflowing with options for treating inflamed guts. Is this the only solution we have? Sign up for Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's Yoga Cikitsā Program to learn about the importance of the Enteric Nervous System for digestive health and how yoga intervention can be an effective strategy for inflamed gut.

In the 19th century it was a major scientific breakthrough in understanding the interaction of the nervous system with the digestive system and therefore the so-called enteric nervous system discovery happened. Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani is one of the eminent Yoga acharya from the Indian Yoga Landscape who has conducted research to study the effects of yoga therapy on functional dyspepsia and the use of adjuvant yoga therapy to treat the condition's symptoms. According to the findings a month-long yoga therapy intervention significantly reduced the patients' symptoms.
The connection between gastrointestinal microbiota and the brain has been described in ancient Indian texts through Yoga and Ayurveda and is now well established by different researches. In ancient Indian culture, food was revered not only as sustenance but also as a form of medicine (Āhāra hi Auṣadhi). This perspective highlights the profound understanding of the gut-brain axis and the impact of diet on health.
Today, amidst the prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders exacerbated by stressful lifestyles, understanding the bi-directional gut-brain axis through yoga therapy can be transformative. Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's program offers an opportunity to delve into these teachings, equipping yoga instructors (or practitioners) with knowledge and practices to enhance their yoga chikitsa (yoga therapy) and understand how yoga plays an important role in reviving gut -brain axis.
